On March 24 The Go! Team will return to us with The Scene Between via Memphis Industries. It’s the first album from the English group in over four years, and things are a bit different this time around.

The recoding of The Scene Between is noticeably different from their previous releases, as bandleader Ian Parton returned to The Go! Team’s roots by writing, performing and producing all of the songs himself. After their last album Rolling Blackouts, the band’s other members went on to other musical projects or ended up getting married. So Parton took this as a chance to return to the roots of the band. Here’s how he described it:

I wanted to make an album driven by melody and song writing because catchiness is the hardest thing you can do. Brill Building hooks but permeated with a kind of wobbly VHS feel.

This includes first single “The Scene Between” a jubilant track with colorful imagery and melodies that don’t take any team lodging themselves to the deepest part of your musical brain. It’s a stone cold stunner of joyfulness.

You can listen to the track below, and check out it’s cultish music video, which was directed by James Slater. Find the album trailer and tracklist posted below that.

Flying Lotus will release his new album You’re Dead! on October 7 via Warp Records. It sits at 19-tracks and features guest appearance from Kendrick Lamar, Captain Murphy, Snoop Dogg, Angel Deradoorian, Thundercat, Herbie Hancock, and Niki Randa.

The album is described as follows:

You’re Dead! is a shamanic pilgrimage into the psychedelic unknown of the infinite afterlife. A sonic, visual and metaphysical fusion of technological innovation and technical virtuosity that amounts to a transcendent, mind-expanding plasm that could only exist between our world and another.

You can hear clips of the album on the album trailer that Flying Lotus released. It’s posted below, along with his upcoming fall tour dates and the album tracklisting.

With their headline spot at Governors Ball this weekend, now is a good time for Interpol to announce news of their new album. It’s titled El Pintor and will be released sometime this September via Matador. Hopefully they will play plenty of the new material over the weekend, as they did in England this March, where they played “My Desire”, “Anywhere” and “All The Rage Back Home.”

Here’s the message that Matador shared about the album today on the Matablog:

On September 9, we’ll be releasing INTERPOL‘s first new album in 4 years, ‘El Pintor’ on LP, compact disc and all digital formats in North, Central and South America (PIAS/Co-op will be handling the rest of the world). Recorded at Electric Lady Studios and Atomic Sound in New York City with engineer James Brown, the band’s fifth album – taut and epic in equal measure – finds Interpol recharged, and ready to reclaim their mantle as one of the planet’s best. ‘El Pintor’’s songs (track listing below) were written and produced by Interpol, with Daniel Kessler playing guitar & piano, Samuel Fogarino on drums, and Paul Banks on vocals, guitars, and taking over bass duties for the first time. The album also features contributions from The Secret Machines’ Brandon Curtis (keyboards), Roger Joseph Manning, Jr. (Beck, Air) playing keyboards on “Tidal Wave,” and Rob Moose (Bon Iver) playing violin and viola on “Twice as Hard.” ‘El Pintor’ was mixed by Alan Moulder at Assault and Battery Studios, and mastered by Greg Calbi.

Foo Fighters have announced that their new album will be released this November. It’s currently untitled, but will be released via Roswell/RCA. It was recorded in eight different cities (New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Austin, Washington, D.C., Nashville, New Orleans, and Seattle).

That aspect ties into the band’s HBO series: Foo Fighters: Sonic Highways, which documents the recording of the album through the various cities. The album, the bands eighth, is their most ambitious yet; with at least one song from the album having been recorded in each of the cities, with local legends of the city sitting in on the sessions. Dave Grohl would hold off from putting down words to the songs until the final day of each session, in order to write lyrics inspired by the experiences.

HBO has released a teaser for the series, which features a sample of a new song that we can only assume is from the album. Find that below. Read the rest of this entry »

With Jay Z & Beyonce’s On The Run tour set to kick off soon, the duo have released a star-studded “trailer” of sorts to mark the occasion. It features Sean Penn, Don Cheadle, Jake Gyllenhaal, Blake Lively, Emmy Rossum, as well as Rashida and Kidada Jones.

With all of Damon Albarn‘s musical projects, it’s hard to believe that he hasn’t released a proper solo album yet. But that will change in 2014, as he has hinted in a short album teaser just released a few days ago.

The teaser briefly shows Albarn at a piano, as a piano-led track with some electronic beats plays over. It’s a quick blip of a sample, but it’s sounding good.

Cloud Nothings have released a short video trailer for their new album, which is due out sometime in 2014. The band shared a link to the trailer yesterday on their FB page. The trailer features some new material playing over footage of them in the recording studio.

Based on the short samples that we get to hear in the trailer, the album sounds like a continuation of the direction that they took on 2012’s awesome Attack On Memory.

Liars will return with a new album on Mute Records in March. The album is currently being completed at their Los Angeles studio.

The band said that the process was nearly the opposite of their last album, WIXIW. In the press release, Liars’ Angus Andrew insisted that the album has been “immediate, fun, instinctual and confident.”

They teased the new album with the release of three short trailers featuring some new tunes. Find all three posted below. Read the rest of this entry »

ceo, who you know better as Eric Berglund of The Tough Allience, has released a little teaser featuring some new music from what may be an upcoming album release. What we hear is sounding pretty cool. Looking forward to hearing the full versions of the stuff included.
